To ALL WHoM IT MAY coNcERN:

Be it known that I, HENRY LUMBARD, ofthe city of Chicago, in the county of Cook,and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tumbler-Brushes, vand 'I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact descriptioncthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents asection of the block and handle, made in separate pieces, and

Figure 2 a section of the block and handle when made of' one piece.

The present modes of making brushes for cleansing mugs, pitchers, tumblers, and other like Vessels, consists in perforating solid blocks, and4 inserting bunches or knots of bristle in those perforations with cement,

which mode is very defective; or in splitting the blo`cks separately from theirhandles, or block and handles together, in two halves, and after drawing the knots in each halfseparately, to screw tight thersaid halves together. Y

.The objectfof my invention being to improve the making of' the above-said brushes, its nature consists in boring the blocks lengthn'ays through the centre, using the said bore for drawing in the knots and looping the wires, securing the last to the block above and below, by means and in the manner as'will be hereinafterfully explained. l

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use said invention', I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Ais the block; a t its perforations. ,B is a bore made through the block, into which said perforations a a open. O is a cap, of the shape and size to complete the block A onfthe top, said cap being perforated, and

provided with a tongue, d, tting bore B. The cap has also small perforations, c c, communicating with perforations ff, for the knots, to draw'the wires through, and secure "them around tongue d. D D are perforations,

made at the bottom of the block A., or at its junctionfwith handle E, to receive the wires of the ron-'sof knots of bristle filling the holes ata, the wires of'V several rows of knots being drawn ina' bunch into one of the holes D D, :indent oil' on the outside. Another v-ayhof'secnring said wires at the bottom of the block A consists in arranging said block separatelyfrom the handle E, and toprovide the handle with tongue F. When the Wires of each row of knots fitting perforations a a are drawn down, they` are turned overl the lower edge, G, of the block A, the tongueF is driven in and riveted to theblock, and the ends ot' sa-id wires'are cut oil'.

'lhe operation consists in this, than-inst, the cap, C,-receives the knot; of bristles, and the vWires passing through perforations c e are secured around tongue tl. Then the block receives the rows ofv knots, whose ends pass tln-ougliperforations D D, and are eut oli", or secured 'to thel blocliby the tongue F of the handle. The tongues then are riveted to thefblock. i

What I claiin as new, and'desire to'se'cure by Letters Patent, isc 'lhe perforated block A., provided with longitudinal bore B and tonguedcap C, said block secured to the handle E by means of the tongue F, substantially as herein set forth and specified, when said block and said handle are made in separate pieces.

HENRY LUMBARD.
